Well, boy, it's been fun. Then again, maybe it hasn't. For most of the past month, I've been looking at this thread, but not responding, partly due to the fact that my team of choice has been sucking hind tit, partly because the thread has been reduced to mindless gibberish. Going forward, until I'm informed that the thread has been restored to a semblance of intelligence, I'm no longer going to even look at it, given the pointlessness. So, farewell to all; see you in other threads.

In particular, I'd like to say farewell to three in particular, three we might just call The Three Stooges:

First, to Curly, who says so much stupid shit that he can't possibly believe, given that we know for a fact that he has more than one college degree.

Second, to Joe, our fucking moron®, who says shit he doesn't believe and knows it's horseshit, but is just in love with the sound of his moronic voice.

And third, to Larry, who's too stupid to know what to believe. I'd be dollars to donuts he's even a Republican. Or a teabagger.

Man, this thread has desintegrated much worse than any other threads on this board as far as name-calling & personal insults go!

Maybe all baseball threads should be deleted before someone starts threatening the other with violence...or worse.

whatever he has, it is working, Jorge's future replacement is a good young prospect and turning heads just about every game.

sure i should, my neck tie is not to tight, like so many in here, it is a baseball thread, not the dummycrat national party convention. it is full of testosterone, which means, have fun (sound familiar) talk baseball and poke fun at your hated rivals, it is what sports are all about, if you notice, whenever a yanks fan post something great about the team, well, it usually is slammed by a red sox fan and thus when a red sox fan gets the same treatment back, you cry foul.(notice the baseball reference, lol) and yes sometimes the opposite as well, but for the most part we all know this is just a fun outlet from the everyday world.

loosen the tie, grab a beer, sit behind your computer and plan your next trip to montreal is my best advice, btw, it works! :)

I Understand yanks fans are on a high right now and red sox fans a low, just like the opposite last year, about this time. but we still had fun and mainly because i think more yanks fans understand it is not life, it is baseball, and tho we as fans are passionate, you have to decipher the difference between the two. quite simple actually. so back to baseball red sox fans?
First of all you should be the last guy fanning any flames.

Second, shall we go back and examine the 2009 thread during the period when the Yankees were busy losing 8 straight to the Yankees?

IDK what the longevity is for Cervelli, as he looks undersized for the prototypical catcher...but you are right so far he is making noise with the opportunity he has been given. The Yankees do have another highly touted prospect to replace Jorge in their system:

http://www.scoutingbook.com/prospects/

Jesus Montero
Born 11/28/1989 (20 years old)
C, NYY

The Yankees are committed to Jorge Posada for another couple of years, but after that they're hoping that a fast-growing rookie can take over their young pitching staff... assuming he doesn't outgrow the position altogether. Universally regarded as the best available international free agent, Jesus Montero was signed in the summer of 2006, instantly becoming New York's best catching prospect. While some want to see him move to first base or a corner outfield spot, the Yankees are so far committed to continuing his development as a catcher and are continuing to develop his receiving and game-calling ability with that in mind.

At 6-4 and 230 (and still growing), Montero's definitely got the muscle for New Yankee Stadium. According to a Yankee scout, Montero 'looked like Travis Hafner already, at age 16.' Most scouts peg his power rating as top of the scale, so it's only a matter of how long it'll take for the rest of his tools to develop. We're thinking 2012.

We agree.

Have fun,

PS You may want to pass this advise on to your friend who is on my ignore list. Read his posts carefully, there is no baseball involved. And his sense of fun (malicious agitation) obviously does not fit in here...I am not the only one who thinks so...

Hello all,

Man, this thread has desintegrated much worse than any other threads on this board as far as name-calling & personal insults go!

Maybe all baseball threads should be deleted before someone starts threatening the other with violence...or worse.

Anyone who stayed to participate in those hockey threads or the Apple v MS threads, where the mods threatened numerous times for each to close them for the flagrant name-calling and flaming, should not be complaining.

Isn't it ironic that violence has been threatened numerous times in many sorts of threads outside of the sports threads and yet there is no call to shut down all threads beyond reviews.

If anyone doesn't like the way things are going then make a positive or at least an honest and considerate contribution. If not, you can choose to exit. Just don't stay and complain.

Cheers,

Merlot

Now that's the AJ we love.
Just when you thought he couldn't improve on that 11.72 era as a Yankee at Fenway, he comes in and gives up 9 runs, 8 earned in 4 1/3...win, lose or draw that was worth the admission tonight.

The Nation loves you AJ...

This thread has nothing on the hockey threads Doc, no where near what yourself, iggy, ghg and JC have dealt out to eachother. Also, if you're referring to my post directed at the Beav yesterday, that was far from confrontational or threatening, especially if you know me. As much as I detest Beav's ridiculous Yankee loving idiocies he knows I still like him on a personal level, same goes for iggy. As for joe.t, well, I get his sense of humor and he actually makes me laugh more than anyone on this board, he's comedic gold!

My post was done tongue-in-cheek.

By the way, what did i ever say or post that was so wrong in the hockey threads? For the most part, i've ignored the flaming. All i've done was post my impressions about Habs fans in general, all true by the way, and copy & paste news articles.....i don't recall ever personally attack anyone other than turning the tables on them if i had enough of their b.s. I've also tried to reason with them in regards to the irrelevant stuff they post in particular threads & politely asked them to go & post them in the threads they belong to. Yes, i've attempted to act as moderator for the threads i've started.....sue me.

I consider Iggy, JC & GHG to be buddies & i can't wait to treat them to a soda pop or take them to a good movie the next time i'm in town. I just love those fuckin' guys, what can i say? :D

Hello Doc,
I never attacked anyone that did not fire the first malicious shot. And I did that fully armed with the knowledge that is what he was looking to invoke.
That said, I don't have to deal with non-intelligent life forms anymore because as I said in a previous post - I have chosen to ignore him. Besides, in an effort to restore the thread I deleted the posts.

BTW, apologies if I misinterpreted a "tongue in cheek" comment. Like I said - without an indicator like a smiley or something, its sometimes difficult to tell when someone is being serious or funny.

Well, you can play with him...I have better things to do with my time.

Have fun,

Hello all,

My post was done tongue-in-cheek.

I thought the overwhelming majority of your posts in the hockey thread were right on point and often very relevant. But while the members posting in the hockey threads may be a fun-loving bunch of comrades as you suggest, in sum they read like a wasteland of infantile back-biting. Maybe you guys are so close you take it all with a laugh. Maybe this is intended as tongue-in-cheek again. I too have gotten a laugh many times from the hockey posts. But the sheer persistence of name calling, insults, and plain garbage by most members there is just too overwhelming not to be just sad.

The baseball threads have been just as bad at times in past years, and yours truly has made ample poor contributions. But this year everyone has cut way back on the "bwahahahas", team name distortions, hyperbole and other typical tripe. I think the worst I've done is post a burning Yankee hat and say someone will never change. Even Joe.t has actually given accurate facts without the cheap remarks. So, tongue-in-cheek or not, your statement was just totally off.

Lester becomes the Ace?

http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/yankees-go-for-sweep-in-boston

Jon Lester's strong performance saved the Boston Red Sox from another embarrassing weekend.

After losing 10-3 and 14-3 to the New York Yankees, the Red Sox salvaged the finale of their three-game series with a 9-3 win Sunday night behind Lester's fourth straight solid outing.

"Regardless of what the team does the day before or the week before, I'm determined to go out and pitch well," said Lester, who allowed two runs in seven innings. "Obviously, the past two days haven't been too much fun, but it was nice to go out there and at least get one from these guys."

One week earlier, the Red Sox completed an even worse weekend against a much weaker team. A 3-2 loss on the road gave the Baltimore Orioles a three-game sweep. Two nights later, Lester allowed one run and five hits in eight innings in a 5-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels in Boston.

He is 3-0 with 30 strikeouts and a 0.98 ERA in his last four starts, lowering his ERA from 8.44 to 3.71. Last season, he had a 6.51 ERA through eight starts and finished at 3.41.


Last week Lester locked down a tie game for several innings with no run support and with seemingly little chance of any considering the anemic run production of recent days at the time. Yesterday, despite coming in after two days of hammering from the arch-nemesis Yankees, Lester beat the team that had just outscored the Sox 24-6 in two games. Of course he did it with great run support this time and against a pitcher (A.J. Burnett) with a 12.6 ERA against the Sox and given to occasional collapses. I heard someone on ESPN call him a "stud pitcher" recently before yesterday's game. Looks like he was right. It sure looks like Lester and Lackey are the real 1-2 of the team, especially if Beckett doesn't learn to keep his head straight. Lester is looking very good to great against anyone, and if he keeps this up he'll give anyone a run for the Cy Young.

However, this is only the second win of the season by a Red Sox starter against a top team this year. Hopefully, this will be far more frequent.

Cheers,

Merlot

Well the Sox have Lackey on the mound who has been solid lately. The Jays are sending out Morrow who has been striking out a ton of batters but also appears to have some control issues as he also issues a fair amount of BB. Should be fun. I'm tempted to go to the game 'cause I'm real close, but its gonna be another chilly NE night and some how that cold beer might taste better in the warm bar in front of a large HD flatscreen...;)

Have fun,

Jman
